Admissions

Nativity Prep is a Jesuit, Catholic middle school (grades 4-8) serving boys from low-income families residing in the City of Boston. We accept students of all faiths and backgrounds.

The goal of the admissions process is to determine whether prospective students would be a good fit for Nativity Prep, which includes high expectations, rigorous academics, spiritual formation, sports and extracurricular activities, an extended day, a mandatory summer program, and parental involvement.

Residency: Applicants must live in the City of Boston.

Entering grades: Applicants must be entering the 4th grade, although occasionally 5th and 6th graders are also accepted if space is available.

Income: Families do not have to pay for their sons to attend Nativity. However, applicants must come from low-income families and to determine eligibility, we ask parents to submit proof of income. Please call if you have questions about income eligibility.
